  2. A global company faces new societal, economic, political, technological and environmental challenges.However, one central aspect of business remains constant, namelyHuman Relations

  3. A global company competing in a market where knowledge and information technology is readily available, could differentiate itself from other multinational companies by nurturing relationships outside the firm such as with host governments and foreign consumers, as well as internally with employees. Diversity management, adaptable leadership and cultural understanding are necessary to build relationships. Three principles have been identified that could be applied during the formulation of a global business strategy in order to promote business relations: Comprehension, Contribution and Communication These principles, combined with the external factors form the CCC-model, which could assist global companies to formulate a successful strategy

  4. The success of a strategy can be determined by the receptiveness of the people whom the strategy influences. Therefore forming good relationships is central to the successful implementation of strategy. To encourage good relationships a value based approach to business should be adopted as it will encourage loyalty of employees, customers and suppliers.

  5. If the concept of incentives schemes for employees can be extended to include the public, a new dimension of business could arise, namely customer incentives. Where share incentive schemes encourage an employee commitment to adding value to the company. The three values that make up the CCC-Model, namely comprehension, contribution and communication, will form the basis of customer incentives.
